Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure these shorts remain in excellent condition, always consult the internal care label. Given the satin material, it is recommended to dry clean or wash on a gentle, cold cycle using a garment bag to prevent snags. When ironing, always use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth to protect the satin finish. For styling, these shorts fit true to size; ensure you pair them with belts that have smooth buckles to avoid catching on the delicate weave of the fabric.
